摘要:
This disclosure is directed to a tire innerliner comprising a dynamically vulcanized alloy of an elastomer and an engineering resin; wherein the innerliner is contoured. The disclosure further relates to methods of making such innerliners and tires made from such innerliners.
摘要:
A coextrusion process for coextruding a thermoplastic elastomer with two outer layers of adhesive to form a film, and a laminate comprising a plurality of layers including an adhesive layer, a sublayer and a barrier layer. The barrier layer comprises a dynamically vulcanized thermoplastic elastomer composition present in one or more plies of the barrier layer. The sublayer comprises a first ply of a first adhesive composition joining the barrier layer and a second ply, and the adhesive layer comprises the second ply, which is vulcanizable with diene-based rubber. The sublayer of the adhesive can be laid down in contact with the relatively hot thermoplastic elastomer to moderate the temperature of the outer layer of the adhesive, whereby the outer layer of the adhesive at least is protected from scorching and can be co-vulcanized with rubber in a tire building process.
摘要:
A process to produce a laminate comprising coextruding a dynamically vulcanized alloy (DVA) film with an adhesive layer comprising a vulcanizable elastomeric composition through a die to produce the laminate. The process provides a residence time of the vulcanizable elastomeric composition in the melt to partially scorch the vulcanizable elastomeric composition. A melt of the DVA is in contact with the melt of the vulcanizable elastomeric composition in the die for at least 5 seconds, optionally also with a change in the area of the contact between the DVA film and the adhesive layer as it passes through the die, to increase the adhesion between the adhesive layer and the DVA layer relative to a shorter co-residence time. A laminate and a pneumatic tire comprising the laminate are also disclosed.

A process is provided for extruding a bimodal polyethylene resin. The process includes providing a polyethylene homopolymer or copolymer resin having a bimodal molecular weight distribution; conveying the resin through an extruder having a feed zone in which the resin is not melted, a melt-mixing zone in which at least a portion of the resin is melted, and a melt zone in which the resin is in a molten state, each zone being partially filled with the resin; and contacting the molten resin in the melt zone with a gas mixture of 8 to 40% by volume O2. The resin can be further pelletized. The oxygen-tailored resin can be used to make polyethylene films having improved bubble stability.
摘要:
Reactor wall coatings for polymerization reactors and processes for forming such coatings are disclosed. The reactor wall coatings can have a thickness of at least 100 μm and a molecular weight distribution including a major peak having one or more of an Mw/Mn ratio of less than 10; an Mz/Mw ratio of less than 7; and a maximum value of d(wt %)/d(log MW) at less than 25,000 daltons in a plot of d(wt %)/d(log MW), where MW is the molecular weight in daltons. The reactor wall coatings can be formed in-situ during polymerization, on reactor walls initially free of a reactor wall coating, or having a pre-existing reactor wall coating.
摘要:
Disclosed herein is a process to produce a laminate comprises coating at least an outer surface of a dynamically vulcanized alloy film with an adhesive composition to produce the laminate, wherein the adhesive layer has a thickness of less than or equal to about 5 microns, wherein the dynamically vulcanized alloy film comprises a thermoplastic elastomer composition containing a thermoplastic resin as a continuous phase, and a rubber composition dispersed therein, as a dispersed phase. A laminate and a pneumatic tire comprising the laminate are also disclosed.

摘要:
A layered structure suitable for use in a pneumatic tire as an innerliner is prepared by directly bonding a fluid permeation prevention film and an adhesive tie layer. Prior to the bonding, the fluid permeation prevention layer is treated to remove any residual plasticizers or oils on the surface of the film. The tie layer comprises 100 weight % of at least one halogenated isobutylene containing elastomer and about 1 to about 20 parts per hundred (phr) of at least one tackifier. The fluid permeation prevention film comprises an elastomeric component dispersed in a vulcanized or partially vulcanized state, as a discontinuous phase, in a matrix of the thermoplastic resin component. The two layers of the layered structure may be separately extruded and then adhered to each other or adhered to each other during a calendaring operation wherein the adhesive tie layer composition is coated onto the treated film.
